Once again I have so many browser tabs open that I can't click any of them because they're too small to accurately hit.
@abucci Haha π€£ My browser looks like this most of the time π

@darch Google Apps actually, grandfathered domain/account. I also have my own mail server too. Slowly getting off of Google Apps -- But its a long process, so much of my public persona uses that email address.

I donβt understand why, in the 12+ years since tabs became de rigeur, nobody figured out a better UI than a tab bar π€¨
@will oh I know. It's a constant source of frustration. I have a long rant about how web brower makers don't actually respond to user needs much anymore, and the tab is evidence.
@abucci Have you tried to group them ?
@tkanos of course. There are still too many. I am an Information Hoarderβ’
I group my tabs in Safari and then never see or think about them again π
@will tabs in the browser have at least 20 years IMO (with Opera)
And in random thoughts, I was watching in the afternoon the history of the Windows Taskbar (in 1995) and the first approach was a tabbed interface. Very interesting
I'd like to have something like Omnisearch like having a list with fuzzy search, and those pages not being used in more than, let's say 1 hour, should be archived.
something like Browsing history + Tabs
@eaplmx yes, that'd be awesome.
So, part of my Rant Against Browsers is that the tab/page/app/whatever is the unit of work in the brower for most people. Yet as an application, the web browser does not treat these things as such. You should be able to Create New/Open/Save/Save As tabs, just as you do with documents in a text editor. You should be able to name them, convert them to other formats, tag them, color code, them, and what have you. And no not as bookmarks, as first-class citizens in your application usage experience. You should be able to package together a bunch of tabs, give that a name, and save it/load it/give it to a friend. You should be able to fluidly move among these groups of tabs. I know some of this is hard to implement, but it's been sooooooo many years and plenty of time has passed to solve those kinds of problems.
Web browsers are still, after all this time, pretending to be "windows" into the web, but we don't use them that way anymore, and the UX is super awkward.
My biggest complaint with the web in general is often Iβm looking for 100 bytes of information but to get it I have to load a spyware application suite pretending to be a html doc
@will briefly mining bitcoin on someone else's behalf is a small price to pay for 100 bytes of data! what would you prefer, having to actually pay out of pocket???
@will I think I use a different version of the Web, those adblockers and anti-spywares are wonderful.
And I'm posting this on the Web, so...
